University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Honours) at the University of Queensland is a one-year research program for students who want to investigate a justice-related issue in depth before moving into policy, further research or postgraduate study. Coursework in research methods and advanced criminology supports an independent honours thesis, developed with one-on-one guidance from an academic supervisor across the year. Core courses include the honours research thesis and research design across the humanities, arts and social sciences, building analytical and evidence-evaluation skills that go well beyond a standard undergraduate criminology degree. It suits students who have completed an undergraduate criminology or criminal justice degree and want to strengthen their research credentials before applying for postgraduate study or research-focused roles. Typical graduate roles include policy adviser, intelligence analyst, cyber crime investigator and criminology tutor.
